About Mel Wright Massage Therapy

Our Story

Mel Wright Massage Therapy was founded in 2017. Originally from Mexborough, I spent most of my childhood through to my mid-30s living in Castleford before moving to Cudworth, Barnsley in 2006. With an early career in the Army and lots of amateur boxing and rugby in my youth, I enjoyed having a good massage, but often found they weren't deep enough to ease my muscles and get the endorphins flowing. It wasn't until an arm injury in 2005 that I discovered Deep Tissue Massage and found it worked for me in a way other types of treatment did not. Now fully recovered and qualified as a Sports Massage Therapist, I want to share the benefits this treatment has to offer.

My Approach

I don’t like to overcomplicate things, and once we've completed an initial consultation and paperwork, I always get straight down to the business of working on your body without delay. Rather than confusing you with lots of science and detailed anatomical jargon, I'll explain things clearly. Ultimately, you need to know what you will get from a deep tissue and/or sports massage therapy treatment with me. I bring it back to what I first found when having the treatment: "it just seems to work for me in a way that other types of treatment have not." As a result, our ever growing client list includes people with busy jobs, gym/sports training activities, busy family lives, or a combination of all these things. It's very common to see people with tight and aching backs, necks, and shoulders, whether from sitting at a desk all day, being under constant pressure, or prolonged and repeated exercise causing injury niggles and movement dysfunction. Whichever applies to you, I can help!
